Summary
Details

From Menifee to Ohio - The Ginter Family is a first-person memoir documenting the life of Otto Fleenor Ginter, born in 1915 in Menifee County, Kentucky. The narrative, told in his own voice, records everyday life in rural Appalachia during the early twentieth century, including farming, hunting, schooling, and the role of extended family in a mountain community.

The memoir provides a firsthand account of the Great Depression as experienced by a working-class American family. In 1929, the Ginter family migrated from Kentucky to Ohio, reflecting a broader pattern of internal migration as families sought industrial employment in the Midwest. The book traces this transition from Appalachian mountain life to factory work and urban adjustment.

Spanning the years 1915 to 1995, the narrative functions as both personal memoir and historical record. Genealogical elements, including an ancestral fan chart, connect lived experience with documented family lineage, making the book relevant to readers interested in genealogy as well as regional and social history.

Written without embellishment, the memoir preserves details of a way of life that has largely disappeared. It offers insight into Appalachian culture, Depression-era survival, and twentieth-century American family history through direct personal recollection.
